Flat Roof Fall
A flat roof is normally used on garages or small extensions. It is much less commonly used as the main building’s roof.
The direction of the slope of a roof is called the fall.
Flat roofs are not actually flat: a flat roof is any roof which has a slope of up to 10 degrees : a fall ratio of 1:6.
The amount of fall should be enough to clear away any water and direct it to the guttering.
If the fall is not enough, the water will form pools on top of the roof.

Sloping Roof Joists are used where there is no level ceiling required below:
Tapered Firring Pieces are attached to the roof joists, producing a level ceiling:
Deepened joists uses parallel firring pieces, at diminishing sections, nailed at right angles to the fall of the roof:

Components of a flat roof

A pitched roof can be a single roof or a double roof.
A double roof with a larger span requires support for the rafters, which are called purlins.

Components of Roofs
Most roofs are constructed in one of two ways:
Modern (prefabricated) roof trusses Traditional cut roof

Roof Components: Under the Eaves
• Eaves: the overhanging lower edge of a roof
• Soffit: the underside of an overhanging roof eave
• Fascia: runs along the lower edge of the roof

Paint Systems for timbers
It is important to use only paint systems which meet with the given specification and current legislation so as to comply with COSHH and the HASAWA.
The most common paint system for timber is primer-undercoat-gloss:
• Primer adheres to the timber surface (without it, subsequent coats would flake straight off).
• Undercoat is the coating which follows the primer in order to build the thickness of the paint film: to give opacity, to fill very minor depressions and gaps, to provide a suitable ground in
readiness for the finishing coat.
• Gloss the finishing coat(s), providing a durable surface that can be wiped clean and (depending on type) resistance to weathering.

The importance of Thermal Insulation in a roof
• Energy is expensive.
• When thermal insulation is used in a building, less power is required to keep the building warm in Winter and cool in Summer.
• The better the insulation, the cheaper it will be to inhabit the building.
• Around one quarter of building heat loss is through the roof space.
• Thermal insulation in a roof will make a dramatic difference to the cost of inhabiting the building.
